Amusemeuss for the Coming season.

Now that the weather is cooler and the
fall months draw near, the amusement
loving public are looking about to know
what is to be provided for their entertain
ment during the long winter evenings.
The management of the Opera House have
not been idle during the summer and in
form us that they have already booked a
number of companies that will compare
favorably with the attractions which are
presented in much larger towns than ours.
An endeavor is being made to secure a
good company to open the house about
September list, but if not successful in this
the management have secured for Septem-
Der 2Sth Pat Maloney's Show and Irish
Comedy Company. Following this. on
October nth, Topack & Steele's Big Spec
ialty Show, which gave such satisfaction
at their appearance here last winter, have
been engaged. For Thanksgiving week,
on November 21st, Barlow Bros. and
Frost's Minstrels, one of the largest and
best minstrel companies on the road, will
be the attraction, and we are assured that
this will, without doubt, be the best enter
tainment in the minstrel line ever given
here. On December 23d, during Christmas
week, Sparks Bros Australian Speciality
Company will appear, and on February
10th Abbey's Double Mammoth Uncle
Toms Cabin Company, with two military
uniformed brass bands, will give one of
the finest presentations of that always pop
ular drama ever seen in our town.
In addition to the above list may be
added several more attractions with which
arrangements will be made later on, and of
which due notice will be given.

John x. Deacon, who supplies most Of
the young plants used by gardeners in this
vicinity, has had some trouble this year
with his cabbage plants. Mr.. Deacon is
always careful in buying seed 10 get the
best, and purchased some of Landretli's
seed, expecting no trouble with it. The
seed came up all right, but after the plants
had been sold to Mr.. Deacon's customers
and had attained their growth, it was
found that they were of very inferior quail
tiles and a mixture of several varieties.
But few of the plants headed, the most of
them spending their energy in producing a
tall seed-stalk, which. however, was not
worth much to make ''kraut" or cold
slaw'' of. Mr.. Deacon desires rs to make
this statement so that the responsibility
for such seed may be placed on the right
party, and not on him.

Denver Items.

Information has been received that MIR.
Samuel w. Smith, who resides three or
four miles northeast of this place. was Sc
verely wounded Thursday, 18th inst, by
gun in the hands of his son. The circuin-
stances, as reported, are as follows: Mr..
Smith, accompanied by his son, had been
to the creek duck hunting, and in return
ing the young man, who was somewhat
behind his father, in attempting TO let the
hammer of his gun down, the latter was
discharged, the load taking effect in Mr.,
Smiths shoulder and side of face and neck,
fearfully tearing and lacerating the flesh.
At last accounts Mr.. Smith was resting
easier and hopes of his speedy recovery
are entertained by his numerous friends.
On Saturday morning, 10th inst, as the
west bound freight train, No. 10, W. c.
Lee conductor, was passing the water tank
at Six and Twenty bridge, six miles north
west of Anderson, Mr.. Samuel Nicely,
who was flag man on said train, was killed
in the most horrible manner. Section
master Russell, who was at work near by,
promptly notified Coroner Nance, who
came and empanelled jury of inquest,
with Mr.. S. L. Eskew foreman. The
jury, after viewing the body as it lay by
the road side, gave it in charge of Mr..
Geo. M. Tolly for preparation for burial.
After hearing the testimony of several
witnesses the jury returned the following
verdict: "That the said Samuel Nicely
came to his death by being knocked off the
train by the pipe that conveys the water
from the tank to the engine, and being 1un
over by the cars" The railroad authors
ties rendered all the assistance they could,
by placing the section force and material
train No. 2 at the disposal of the Coroner
and jury, and conveying the remains to
Pendleton. the home of deceased.
Mr.. Nicely was the second one killed the
same morning by the same train, but un-
der different Conductor and Engineer,
brakeman having been killed at Green
wood while in the act of uncoupling car.
The railroad authorities should, and
doubtless will, take steps at an early day
to have the tank pipes so adjusted as TO
obviate the danger of train men being
knocked off and killed.
The farmers have begun to SOW wheat,
and are moving things around pretty live
ly, trying to get through while the weather
is favorable.
Cotton is nearly all picked, and by far
the larger portion is sold.
This seems to be an excellent year for
acorns. The woods are full, and the earth
under the largest trees is literally covered
with them. The black birds are getting to
be pretty numerous in consequence of the
acorns, and pigeo MS are next in order.

Hart,vell (Ga.) Su,

Several Church members were discuss
ing the amount of their increase that they
had set apart for the Lord this year. One
good brother, who made much better
crop of cotton than he anticipated re-
marked: "I came very near promising
the Lord at planting time that I would
give him dollar for every bale of cotton
I would make this year, and, brethren, if
I had done so the Lord would have got
me, sure"
Uncle Billy Holmes, long since gone
to his reward, was for many years cryer
for the superior Court at Anderson, S. G.
Uncle Billy was a little hard of hearing.
An old citizen of Anderson County tells
US the following joke on the old man,
that occurred many years before the war.
He was told to call "Arabella Hanks"
Not hearing, he put his hand to his ear
and asked, "Who?" He was told in
louder tone, "Arabella Hanks!" Going
to the door he cried: "Yaller Belly
Shanks!-Yaller Belly Shanks !-Yaller
Belly Shanks!-don't answer" On an
other occasion the discordant notes of
jackass' bray annoyed the judge, and he
ordered the cryer to tell the owner to
take that jackass out of towE. Stepping
to the door, Uncle Billy cried mechanical
ly in his usual manner: "Take that
iackass out of town take that jackass
out of town don't answer!" The mer-
riment thereat disturbed the proceedings
of the court more than the balaam did.
On Monday young darkey in his
teens stepped in Williams store. One of
the clerks laid a half cremated cigar on
the counter to wait upon customer.
The darkey saw it, coveted it, and slyly
picked it up. The clerk noticed the pro-
cedure, and concluded to give the darkey
scare. Accusing him of larceny, he ran
to the door and called for Marshal Carter.
The thoroughly frightened negro made
break for the back door, and jumping the
fence, crossed lots until he reached How
ell street, down which he ran like a quar-
ter horse, passing the residence Of High
Sheriff Jas. Roberts. Jim saw him, and
naturally concluded tina! he had either
stolen something valuable or killed some-
body, so he put out after the fleeing dar-
key with his utmost speed. Away they
sped, o'er hill and dale to the woods be-
yond. Nor did Jim stop to admire the
gorgeous tints of the autumnal forest or
listen to the glad songs of the woodland
choirsters nor needed he the whispering
of the gentle zephyrs through the sway
ing tree tops, nor the mournful signing of
the sombre pines; noticed he not the af-
frighted rabbit as it darted from under his
feet, nor the whirr of the partridge's sud-
den flight; nor rocked he that his Sun
day shoes and best pants were suffering
from contact with marshy mud and
tangled briars. Nary time once-he
wanted that niger! But if Jim ran fast
the negro ran faster, and after running
him for more than two miles, he gave up
the chase and returned to town tired if
not wiser man. .Jim's remarks explo-
ded like dynamite, when he learned that
the negro was innocent of crime. Jim
says be doesn't know Of but one bigger
fool than that niger. Conundrum?
